Robot Feast investigates the evolving relationship between humans and machines through the act of eating. The project introduces edible robots as a way to examine power, consumption, and technological integration in the age of human–machine convergence. By presenting robotic forms as something that can be consumed, the work reconsiders established narratives about progress, control, and the shifting boundary between organism and mechanism.
The project poses a set of reciprocal questions: whether we will consume robots, whether robots will in various ways consume us, and how these dynamics may already be unfolding. The edible forms operate as stand-ins for technological bodies, highlighting the intersections between biological and mechanical systems. Through this reconfiguration, Robot Feast shifts the robot from a durable, external object into a temporary, ingestible one, opening a space to consider new orientations between humans and machines.
Robot Feast was created in collaboration with Michelle Park, and was sponsored by Art Center Nabi as part of Robot Party, an exhibition and global hackathon organized by Art Center Nabi.
